A competitive finale to the card and SAMMY SPIDERMAN is given the vote to win it; Shuilmin and Ballynure are nominated to fill the placings. Sammy Spiderman showed he is not void of his quirks last time when attempting to run out and unseating his rider when still travelling well at Carlisle last time. Previous to that he finished second behind the progressive Teenando. Shuilmin is un-penalised for his win at Sedgefield last time. He is a course specialist at that venue but stamina is his forte. Ballynure has been dropped 4lb by the handicapper from his latest outing. Mistral De La Cour is another that could be considered but in a moderate finale, Sammy Spiderman is the selection.
